5.7.2 seems to be the last version supporting XP

5.7.5 is the last version that works on Windows XP. It's available from the fcpyPortable homepage on PortableApps.com.

Thanks John!

this is indeed a very robust renamer!

im torn between this and Advanced Renamer :(
http://www.portablefreeware.com./index.php?id=1848

both are great, coming from payware 'Better File Renamer', both these freeware offer every naming scheme/option!

this seems to provide more support for multi-languages.
i will probably make the switch to this.

great add.!

i take that back, i just tried using this and im disappointed in the interface.

sadly, the abundance of features make it very difficult to use.

im sticking with Advanced Renamer, while it doesn't provide support for multilanguages, it's interface is much more user-friendly. simplicity and ease of use for me is important.

i'll use this only when required for multilanguages, but for everyday usage, im sticking with Advanced Renamer.

I tried to use latest zip (8.4), could not do anything. There was no option to add rules. May be something is wrong with the UI or it does not support Windows 8.1 N version.

@Revelation777: Until it is fixed - the link to Mr.Tamaru's translated page works via www.archive.org

Discovered this following __philippe's recommendation; the download link from webpage seems to be working now. This tiny app absolutely rocks -- I just wish that background color was user customizable...

Just as information:
When I run this program, it wanted to create a executable file in windows\system32 folder which I blocked.

for me is great, but PNG or BMP support will be nice

very easy intuitive fast and clear program, i autoboot it everytime

Really glad I tried this, usually I use fascapture, but this has some great features over it. Like others have said an ability to be able to save captures as pdf would be nice, but hardly essential. There are other programs on here to convert images to pdf.

Doesn`t work half the time, keeps saying the epub file is corrupt. Yet, they open in Sumatra and just about any other epub viewer with no issues.

Anyone know security-wise if this is still worth using? It's now been more than two years without an update and I wonder what the risk to using it is, vs say Adobe Reader with its never-ending vulnerabilities.

@Specular: I think if you're asking a question like that, it's probably wise to use an updated viewer. There have been a few PDF vulnerabilities over the past year, but I think you have to enable various Adobe-only extras that I don't think STDU has in it's program.

I use this to enable/disable my touch screen on Windows 8.

The new "flat" design with similar monochrome icons is a step back in usability. Normal appearance, apart from grouping of toolbar buttons, can be restored under Configuration -> Layout.

The program is a good tool for trimming old MP3 encodes without incurring further quality loss. Glitches are avoided if the MP3 is upconverted to 320 kbit beforehand with MP3Packer.

I wish it also supported common simple video soundtrack formats.

AT ITS SIZE, nothing is like this! so powerful

Its similar to AviTricks Classic for Avi editing, but for audio files. Using a 3rd "tiny" app, Avi2wav, these together are 2mb worth of just stupid levels of "professionalism"

...If your only audio editor was this little guy, you could PULL A LOT OFF

How to extract: For portability, you now have to tick the option it presents you to force it.

Portable JauntePE 0.6.6 Beta
- web site: http://www.portable-jauntepe.com-about.com/
- download page: http://www.portable-jauntepe.com-about.com/download.html
- direct download: http://sourceforge.net/projects/jauntepe/files/JauntePE060Nightly.zip/download
The link above download the file JauntePE060Nightly.zip and if You unzip it and see changelog.txt:
- gui's file version to 0.6.4
- runtime's file version to 0.6.6
Author is Redlar.

Seems like this doesn't work any more in Windows 10. Although apps portablised using it in previous versions of Windows still seem to work OK.

JauntePE downloaded, just want to try it) I am a fan of portable apps!!!
I have experience Molbox, but this is no longer supported. Then he switched to Boxedapp. These programs are very cool!

There are a lot of great ways to compress files and folders quickly and easily, but most people are only familiar with ZIP. PeaExtractor's broad support means that it frees us up to send the latest and best compression formats without wondering if the recipient will have difficulty opening it.

Is the description of "How to extract" still valid? I ask because a lot has changed with the structure of directories and files.

@dmocha: I just downloaded the ZIP file for v9.0.1, and it seems the file/dir structure is still pretty much the same, so the extraction instruction should still be valid. Could you provide details on the diffs that you are seeing?

@Andrew Lee: I have no objections. I'm just asking. I remember that quite a long time ago new folders and files arrived, and the procedure is still the same. That's why I'm wondering if it's up to date with these files.
I still follow this procedure and still use the portable version.

So lucky to have this. My Lenovo machine has poor volume control buttons that frequently ignore input depending on what application is in focus. Volumouse meanwhile doesn't care: I have the left button + scroll wheel mapped to slowing increasing/decreasing the sound and the right button + scroll wheel mapped to mute and un-mute. Just excellent.

Especially like that it only takes up a little over a meg of RAM.

Volumouse is my default program for about two yaers already.
Thanks to the author.

Despite being very handy Volumouse lacks very important feature for me - preset volume levels. I need 11 of them - 1 (100%), 1/2 (50%), 1/2^2 (25%), ..., 1/2^9 (0.195%) and 0. Now I found Volume2. Don't sure whether it can be completely registry-stealth or not (uses HKCU/Run for autorun), at least it saves Config.ini to its folder.
Goodbye Volumouse.
P.S. Still using NirCmd "nircmdc setsysvolume xxxxx" by lnk-files in start-programs menu for setting volume w/o mouse.

Midas you are correct however I burned the same CD at 128 and 192 and could not hear any difference-I have a 2 CD drive player on my home system and could not tell which was which.

Check links !

I found the web page archived on the [Wayback Machine](https://web.archive.org/web/20180618114039/http://www.inspire-soft.net/software/mp3-quality-modifier)

and a valid download link [here](https://web.archive.org/web/20180618114039/http://www.inspire-soft.net/data/mp3-quality-modifier.zip)

FYI it's not stealth. writes an empty folder and key to registry.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\AnnyStudio\JPEGRotator

:(

Now at version 10.0

I'd rather use Irfanview with their JPEG lossless plugins.

Works well. Found several errors in some junky MP3s I had, although MP3val (http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=1415) was able to actually fix them. This program of course will test more types of files.

Testing takes about 1 second / meg on my 2 ghz dual core system.

Couldn't get ver 1.7 to work with XP. Ver 1.6 does work with XP and can be downloaded here:

Awesome~ I'm sick of going to a website to find my IP.

when I use proxy the IP2 not work right,is display my router ip,not proxy ip

@Cattleya: Make sure you download the zip package, because the installer does the following:
"The kernel mode driver used by CPU-Z is installed on the system, that avoids to install / remove it at every run."
The portable version leaves no driver behind, just tested it.

@kc: I used to do sysadmin for a small non-profit org. 7 pc's and 2 printers, no big deal. I carried all my tools on a pendrive. Off course I had admin-rights, but this is a typical scenario a lot of us are in, so it's not entirely useless, portable is the way to go for sysadmins ;)

CPUZ is old, tired and practically useless. It's heyday was about six years ago. Speccy is a must for today.

The customized versions for different board manufacturers (on the home page) are also portable (download the zip package). The customized versions include the manufacturer's logo as a window background and theme.

I'm a bit irritated by this, and a number of other recent programs, where the '64-bit' version downloads a zip file with 'x64' in the filename, however the executable contained within doesn't have 'x64' in the filename, but has the same name as the 32-bit version. Is the executable file within 32-bit, or 64-bit?

@AdrianK_IT
64-bit. Unless the developer screwed up when uploading the latest package :P
If you're unsure, then use Process Explorer and under View -> Columns make sure Image Type is checked. It will show you the bitness of an application.
Another alternative is GNUWin's file utility at http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuwin32/files/file/5.03/
I'm not sure about portability though (Cygwin stuff...) and am currently not in the position to test.

@AdrianK_IT & dany: The easiest way is analysing the file with PeStudio (http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=1950).
And the "64-bit" version of BulletsPassView is 64-bit.

Thanks, Mike. Could you mirror it for our general public? www.mirrorcreator.com is one easy resource...

I have copies of both the 32 and 64-bit versions if needed.

@Baas: Yes please. If you can get me a link to something or I can hop on whatever network and you can send them over directly

I really didn't think there was anything else a startup program should do but Nirsoft continues to surprise.

how does this compare to autorun? been using that for a while and just wanted to know, I'll try this one too later if I need it before using autorun

@_._
I currently use AUTORUNS to decrap my Windows startup and I use WHATINSTARTUP to add custom nifty handy dandy startup entries that I need.

Caffeine 1.61 has been released, changes in the latest version:
v1.61 - 10th October 15
Fixed bug with app not going active/inactive correctly when a timed period elapsed

@smaragdus: Thanks ... and updated ;)

thanks, but that doesn't work either....

It worked very fast for me. It extracted it into organized folders. Good app to have.

A simple but very useful extraction program.
A "must have" in every portable collection!

DirHTML (https://www.portablefreeware.com/?id=308) is yet another choice...

There is no longer a Free version , $9 or $29 , versions.

@vmars: that is true... but also old news. If read the Note at the entry's end, you'll notice TPFC is linking an old v0.9.1 from LupoPensuite.
